Victorian morality is a rigid perspective developed during the Victorian era that included a great deal of censorship, secret lives, double standards, and a lack of pro-life discourse. Ultimately, references to the Bible itself seemed to result from the lack of freedom of speech.
Charles Dickens, perhaps the most prominent author of the Victorian era, felt compelled to keep completely secret from the London public a Christian story that he wrote, and a mistress that he had after his marriage fell apart.
Capital punishment -- not merely imprisonment -- was the over-the-top Victorian era penalty for bigamy.
